Savory Red Lentil Stew

I found the original idea for this red lentil stew from Martha Stewart’s site. I changed a few things to make it a bit faster to prepare and also a bit more kid-friendly.

There is a perfect pairing of spices in this recipe that give it a robust flavor without overwhelming the tastebuds. And talk about fiber! The red lentils themselves provide over half of the Daily Value for fiber, and the sweet potatoes add in their share on top of that.

Did you know that the main difference between red and green lentils is the cooking time? Red lentils cook in less than 30 minutes!

As always, to make this a bit faster, have all the ingredients measured and chopped first. That way, you can easily add when you need to, and the cooking time will be just perfect.
